Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 2031 - Bab 2040

It went without saying that Frank's heart had stopped, and Winter almost passed out instantly when she saw the flatlined cardiogram."No, that's impossible… Impossible! Frank, Frank… open your eyes! Look at me…"Winter panicked—she expected the risk, but when she realized that she had killed Frank with her needles, she still could not forgive herself.She was left staring as her hands trembled, and she fell to the floor with a thud. "How… How could this be…?"Seeing her anguish, Nurse Faith quickly tried to comfort her. "Chief, it's alright. You have to let him go…""Yes, I have to let him go…"Winter's eyes turned blank as she laughed miserably. "Could you do the same if you killed the one you love the most? Can you?"Nurse Faith felt pained as she looked into those empty eyes too—she had never seen such despair, misery, and endless helplessness in Winter's eyes.Nurse Faith tried to say something but eventually breathed a long sigh as she had no words that could comfort Winte

With the three days for gathering evidence having passed, that also meant that the Martial Tournament finals would take place tomorrow…Turning to Nurse Faith, Frank asked, "Is Winter here? I'd like to see her.""The chief…?"Nurse Faith appeared hesitant. "She's attending the commissioner's funeral. All the rich and important figures in Zamri are attending.""The commissioner's funeral?"Frank was taken aback but soon laughed.Funeral? It was just an excuse to tell the world that Frank had failed and that his crime of murdering the commissioner was the truth now.Soon, Lanecorp and Zamri Hospital would suffer because of Frank as well.Still, Frank did some thinking and decided that crashing the funeral right now would be pointless. Since he did not have any evidence, he could not prove his innocence even if he went…That was when he suddenly remembered Blackie.That kid had always been shadowing Tidus after Frank took Tidus under his wings, and he did not expect Blackie's

The old woman then arrived outside Blackie's room, with Frank standing closely behind."Blackie, quit hiding in your room! Your friend's here!"She called out while knocking on the door forcefully, "Honestly, how old are you?! Holed up in there for days just because of a tantrum, refusing to go to work. How shameful…"Frank looked around and asked, "Ma'am, didn't Lanecorp arrange for a new place to live for Blackie? Why would you stay here?"He was indoors, but the smell from the garbage around still stung the nose.The old woman shook her head and smiled. "It's not like the kids are mistreating me, but I just don't want to leave. You really get sentimental when you're old, see? I've been staying here for so long that I won't get used to living in a new place. But Tidus did get his boys to repair the house, hahaha… You hear me, Blackie?! Get up!"Even as the old woman hammered on Blackie's door, Frank sensed that something was wrong since he was not responding even after so long.

With the crowd congesting the hall, it took over an hour for everyone to pay their respects at the funeral.Helen Lane, Vicky Turnbull, Winter Lawrence, and Mona Fairfax were present too.Even Elder Fango was there, seated at the main chair and watching everyone present impassively."And now, we shall hear from the mayor, Stanley Durban."Silence ensued in the hall at the emcee's announcement."Geon Kramer… Commissioner of Zamri."On the stage, Stanley started reading from a script with a pained voice as the guests looked on. "Zamri has seen peace and stability under his leadership. Even if he has not achieved anything amazing, he was always a grounded man and one who would live on in our hearts…"Vicky pursed her lips even as she listened. "Bullshit. A hedonistic commissioner who couldn't accomplish anything, and now, another brazen monkey is embellishing him for being a leader and a grounded man…""Shush."Helen promptly put a finger to her lips, as everyone around Vicky hea

Seeing that Mona was glaring and ready to fight back, Stanley glowered and growled, "Anyone resisting arrest will receive equal punishment as Frank Lawrence! No mercy!"On the other hand, Vicky snorted. "Hmph. Go for it, Mona! Take down Stanley Durban—let me handle the rest! If we don't fight, we'd all end up in Blackwater!""Oh, no, no, no!"Gina, seeing that Stanley was ready to arrest Helen, promptly rushed to kowtow at Stanley's feet. "Please, Mr. Mayor! My daughter divorced Frank a long time ago—she's an ex-wife, like you said! It was Frank who was a scheming bastard and dragged my daughter into this… She has already cut all ties with him!""Is that so?"Stanley was smirking smugly as he watched Gina beg, and he turned toward Helen. "In that case, let me ask you—have you cut ties with the man who murdered Commissioner Kramer as this woman has said, Ms. Lane?"Hearing Stanley's question, Gina turned to level a pleading stare at Helen too, worried that she would misspeak just
